If you suspect the stain to be pet stain or food and if you have a way to extract water from the carpet (shop vac or rug machine) perhaps you could mix up an enzyme cleaner (like Biz or rug cleaning equivalent) with hot water and pour a cupful of the mixture on to the stain. Let it work for 3 to 4 minutes then suck it out of the carpet as completely as possible. If this works you should follow up with several cups of clear cold water extracting the water out of the carpet quickly after each application. It is important to rinse all of the detergent out of the carpet because detergent attracts/holds dirt.
Another thing that you might try is a mixture of 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 10 parts water. I just used this on my carpet and it really helped with a couple of stains. Wishing you the best!
There is a commercial carpet stain remover on the market. Made by Bissell.
